Floppy Emu Boot from Smartport Unit 2

Apple IIgs, with an Apple 3.5 inch drive connected, with a Floppy Emu daisy-chained to the Apple 3.5. With new firmware on the Floppy Emu, it dynamically changes the emulated disk type, loading a small bootstrap program that then reboots the IIgs from the Emu's Smartport hard disk on Smartport unit 2.

I still have my Franklin Ace 1000 I got in grade school back around '84. I've also acquired a second Ace 1000, a II+ and IIc. Good times!
